	It should be emphasized that none of this information is present in any actual ''Transformers'' fiction, and is barely even ''suggested'' by any fiction, although it is possible to incorporate the information fairly smoothly. ''The Razor's Edge'' is the first — and so far only — fiction to say anything specific about the facilities.
